Construct taxilane

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) awarded the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) a Project Grant of $1,135,630.53 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) on September 17, 2025, with a completion date of September 16, 2029. This grant establishes a state block grant program enabling TxDOT to administer sub-awards for airport infrastructure improvements at nonprimary airports throughout Texas. The primary deliverable involves the construction of taxilanes to support airport operations and capacity at eligible facilities within the state.

As part of this program, TxDOT designated Grayson County as a sub-grantee to construct taxilanes and apron pavement for hangar development at a local airport facility (sub-award dated September 19, 2025). This project structure allows federal funding to flow through TxDOT to local airport sponsors, facilitating the modernization of regional airport infrastructure while supporting civil aeronautics needs across the state. The multi-year project timeline reflects the typical duration required for airport construction projects from design through closeout phases.
